Cloos Qineo Pulse 600 with a MASTER-Plus LCD panel and an external QINEO WD PULSE feeder is an industrial MIG/MAG welder on a large copper transformer with digital control. The source works in a range from 40 A to 600 A, gives 600 A at a 60% duty cycle and 44.0 V and 465 A in continuous 100% work at 37.5 V. The interconnection package is 10 m, and the working cables are 4 m each.
What this machine is for
An interconnection cable of 10 m separates the heavy source from the feeder. The transformer stays at a set point of the welding shop, and you carry only the QINEO WD PULSE feeder to the station, onto the structure or inside a tank. On semi trailers, machine frames, containers and space frames that is the main advantage of this configuration, because the source weighs over 200 kg and is not moved every few minutes. The feeder has a four roll drive rated for work at 600 A.
The MASTER-Plus panel has a central graphic LCD screen, which is not a touch screen: you navigate with buttons and knobs. On one view you have the active process, the working mode, the material, the gas, the wire diameter and the real values of current, voltage and arc corrections, so you do not have to read abbreviations off segment displays. The JOB memory covers 999 places: 994 standard programs and five quick memories from S1 to S5 with direct recall, and you give every job your own technology name. In serial production that cuts the risk of a mistake in the parameters.
The program base covers Fe structural steels under Ar/CO2, Ar/CO2/O2 and Ar/O2 mixtures and under pure CO2, CrNi stainless and acid resistant steels, AlSi and AlMg aluminium alloys under pure argon and argon and helium ArHe mixtures, MIG braze welding with CuSi and CuAl filler for zinc coated sheet and copper alloys, and rutile and metal cored wires for carbon and stainless steel. The controller handles wire diameters from 0.8 mm to 2.0 mm. MMA stick welding and TIG DC with lift arc ignition are also available in the software, but these processes need the accessories to be checked.
Features and equipment
- MASTER-Plus panel with a central graphic LCD screen: the process, the material, the gas, the wire diameter and the current and voltage are visible in one place, navigation is by buttons, without a touch screen.
- JOB memory for 999 places, including 994 standard programs and five quick memories from S1 to S5: you recall a full set of settings for a part in one move, with your own technology name.
- Access levels and a parameter lock button: you leave the operator the choice of the defined JOB programs.
- A large copper transformer with digital control: the current circuit takes the loads of the 600 A class and holds the arc through long working cycles.
- Interconnection cable of 10 m: the source stands at a fixed point of the workshop, and only the lighter feeder goes to the station.
- Synergic control for diameters from 0.8 mm to 2.0 mm: you set the working power, and the controller corrects the arc voltage and the feed speed.
- Mode without synergy (Syn off): the process engineer runs the current and voltage parameters by hand when the factory curve does not suit the job.
- MIG/MAG Pulse: the droplet detaches at the peak phase of the pulse, without short circuits in the pool, so there is less spatter and the heat put in stays under control.
- SpeedPuls: a focused fast pulsed arc raises the speed of laying welds on straight sections, without losing pool stability and penetration.
- Duo Pulse, a double pulse available in the lines that support it: a cyclic change of arc current gives a regularly rippled bead close in look to TIG and improves the bridging of assembly gaps.
- Start and finish routines: slow wire start, up-slope, down-slope, crater filling and wire burn back.
- HOLD function: after the arc goes out the screen holds the real current and voltage values, which makes quality control and the validation of test joints easier.
- Torch modes 2T, 4T, Super-4T and spot and interval welding: in Super-4T you control the starting energy and the crater filling power at the end of the bead from the trigger.
- A set of working cables of 4 m each: MIG, earth with a jaw clamp of a cross section sized for 600 A and supply to a 3 x 400 V industrial socket.

What to watch out for
The set needs an industrial connection of 3 x 400 V at 50/60 Hz, and the input current reaches 48.7 A at the peak and 37.8 A effective, so size the circuit and the fuse for those values. The source weighs over 200 kg, so for unloading and setting it up prepare a forklift or a pallet truck, and plan a fixed place in the hall, because with a package of 10 m the machine is meant to be stationary. The working cables are 4 m each, so the real reach of the welder is the length of the interconnection package plus the torch. The open circuit voltage is 84 V, which in tight and damp spaces calls for keeping the safety rules for industrial sources.
The panel screen is not a touch screen, you do everything with buttons and knobs, which at first contact with the menu takes a moment of learning. The MMA and TIG DC lift arc processes are in the software, but for work they need the right accessories, so confirm them before you buy. The product record gives liquid cooling, and the configuration of machines from the second hand market varies, so check the torch, the feeder rolls and the cooling circuit together with us. At 600 A watch the contact of the earth clamp with the part, because a weak clamp heats up faster than the weld.
How we sell used machines
This unit was checked in our service workshop in Krotoszyn with measurements to PN-EN 60974-4 and a load test. The price includes the first year of the basic service package: an inspection with cleaning of the machine and a validation measurement. Further years can be added. We ship across the European Union, collection in person by appointment.
